Shared Blessings is a faith-based ministry established to provide temporary shelter for men, women, and families that are homeless in St. Francois County. The people we provide shelter for are from all walks of life, some have found their way to St. Francois County for the first time. Our goal is to offer a hand up by connecting people with agencies in the county that offer help with gaining employment, medical care, mentoring, housing, etc., as needed. In addition to providing shelter, Shared Blessings also provides daily care items such as razors, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush, etc. Shared Blessings ministry is supported solely by area churches, corporate and individual donations, and gifts from civic and service organizations. We hope that in working together, sharing blessings, we can end homelessness in our community.

Household Goods: Bedding, furniture, lamps, curtains, shower curtains, towels, cups, silverware, dishes, cookware, etc. to set up house. We have sitting rooms, bedrooms, and a dining room. When our patrons find permanent housing, we try to help furnish their home.

Household Maintenance: We accept donations to help maintain our building such as paint and supplies, etc.

Financial Support: We are always in need of financial support. We have electric bills, water bills, trash, etc as any household would have. The more financial support we receive the more people we can help.

Prayer: We pray we will be blessed with the support needed to continue the ministry. We pray to be a blessing and useful resource for our community. We pray that those who need us, find us. We pray that those we are helping will never face being homeless again. And we pray for those who care enough to share with us.

Welcome to Desloge

The Desloge Chamber of Commerce would like to welcome you to the City of Desloge and hope that you will find this a fun and friendly place to live!

Desloge is woven between several towns where we all come together with a number of social events and school activities. In the center of town (at Parkside & Walnut Streets), Desloge City Park offers an olympic size swimming pool, tennis courts, picnic tables, barbeque pits, amphitheater, walking/jogging path, and playground equipment. The park is home to the annual Labor Day Picnic featuring carnival rides, bands, crafts, food vendors, car & motorcycle shows and much, much more! Brightwell Park (at Cedar Street & Brightwell Blvd.) features three baseball diamonds for little to senior league baseball and softball.

We are surrounded by a number of State Parks including St. Joe, St. Francois, Elephant Rocks, Johnson Shut-ins, Hawn St. Park, Pickle Springs, Amidon State Park and many hiking and nature trails. There are several area wineries close by. All of these areas are within a 30 to 45 minute drive.

Desloge and Bonne Terre join together to form the North County School District. There are two elementary schools, an intermediate school, middle school and high school, as well as Unitec Career Center (trade school). Mineral Area College is just a few minutes away and also serves as host for Central Methodist College’s satellite campus. Missouri Baptist College offers a satellite learning center as well.

Parkland Hospitals in Bonne Terre and two locations in Farmington serve this area’s health care needs.

The Desloge Chamber of Commerce office is located at 200 N. Lincoln Street. We offer several events throughout the year and invite you to get involved. February is the month for our Trivia Night, May is our Annual Golf Tournament, Labor Day weekend is the Picnic in the Park or more widely known as "The Last Blast", October is the annual city-wide yard sale and December is our annual Jingle Bell Run!
